Dimitrios Agravanis (alternate spelling: Dimitris) (Template:Lang-el; born December 20, 1994) is a Greek professional basketball player for Río Breogán of the Spanish Liga ACB and the Basketball Champions League. He is a 6 ft 10 in (2.08 m) tall power forward, who can also play as a center.

Early life

Agravanis was born on December 20, 1994, in the Maroussi suburb of Athens, Greece. His basketball journey started at age nine, when his father set up a basket at their home. Playing basketball soon became Dimitris' favorite pastime.[1] He enrolled at the local youth system academy of then Greek club Maroussi Athens as a kid, where he eventually made the club's first team, and signed a professional contract with them in 2010.[2]

Professional career

Early years

Agravanis began his professional career in 2010, with the Greek Basket League club Maroussi Athens, and in 2012, he made a move to the Greek League club Panionios Athens, where he also competed in the European-wide 2nd-tier level EuroCup competition. Despite averaging fewer than 7 minutes per game with Panionios Athens, he showed promising signs of talent.[3]

Olympiacos (2013–2019)

In 2013, Agravanis made the big move to the Greek League and European-wide 1st-tier level EuroLeague powerhouse Olympiacos Piraeus, who believed in him as a strong prospect, and signed him to a 5-year contract.[4] At the beginning of his first season, Olympiacos Piraeus won the 2013 edition of the FIBA Intercontinental Cup title.[5]

In the 2014–15 EuroLeague season, Olympiacos Piraeus finished runners-up in the EuroLeague, after losing to Real Madrid in the EuroLeague Final. Olympiacos also won the 2014–15 Greek League season's championship, after beating Panathinaikos Athens in the finals of the Greek League playoffs. During the season, Agravanis averaged 6.4 points per game, in 14.4 minutes per game in the Greek League, and 4.1 points per game, in 12.5 minutes per game in the EuroLeague.[3]

With Olympiacos Piraeus, he also won the Greek League championship in 2016. In late July 2017, he re-signed with Olympiacos, through the summer of 2020, as he penned a three-year, €1.4 million euros net income guaranteed deal with the Reds.[6] On July 24, 2019, Olympiacos Piraeus announced that they had waived his contract, and Agravanis thus became a free agent, after spending six seasons with the Reds.

Promitheas Patras (2019–2022)

Agravanis signed with the Greek EuroCup club Promitheas Patras in 2019. He averaged 8.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in the EuroCup's 2019–20 season.[7] Agravanis re-signed with the team on July 15, 2020.[8] During the 2021-22 campaign, in 29 league games, Agravanis averaged 14 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals, playing around 25 minutes per contest.

Napoli (2022)

On September 27, 2022, Napoli Basket officially announced that they had signed Agravanis on a monthly contract with an option for the rest of the season.[9] On October 31 of the same year, Napoli and Agravanis mutually parted ways. In 5 games, he averaged 8.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per contest.[10]

Peristeri (2022–2023)

On November 4, 2022, Agravanis signed a two-year (1+1) contract with Peristeri, under coach Vassilis Spanoulis.[11] On January 31, 2023, however, he parted ways with the club. In 8 league matches, he averaged 10.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists, playing around 23 minutes per contest.

Panathinaikos (2023)

On January 31, 2023, Agravanis, in a deeply controversial move for the fandom, signed a two-and-a-half year contract with former rivals Panathinaikos, returning to the EuroLeague. In 4 EuroLeague games, he averaged 0.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 9 minutes per contest. Additionally, in 14 domestic league matches, he averaged 8.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18 minutes per contest. On July 15, 2023, Panathinaikos opted out of their mutual contract and Agravanis became a free agent.

Río Breogán (2023–present)

On September 3, 2023, Agravanis signed with Spanish club Río Breogán.[12]
